Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.

URL to Connect to This Device
To manage this gateway via the Internet, you need to its public IP Address, as seen from the Internet. This public IP Address is allocated by your ISP, and is shown on this screen. But if your ISP account uses a dynamic IP Address, the address can change each time you connect to your ISP. There are two solutions to this problem:
•Have your ISP allocate you a Fixed IP address.
•Use the Dynamic DNS feature so you can connect using a domain name, rather than an IP address. See “Dynamic DNS” on page
UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
